it's just a minor point, but @ min 6.20 technicaly the password hash is never decrypted.. that would be dangerous… The Users Password is hashed in the same way as the hash in the DB was… and then they are compared… great video though!

I have 3 php scripts that I need to combine registration/login. One is Smarty-based script, the other is CodeIgniter based frame work, and the other is just ordinary php script. Any ideas of how I can achieve this? Thanks much.

While this is a good tutorial for some purposes, people who use these instructions should be very aware that they are opening up a large security hole by following the directions to comment out the check for IN_PHPBB. Rather, the way you should handle this is just define IN_PHPBB in your file. There are other issues, but regardless this is a well done video.

@ludmil1 This tutorial only helps you tu use the phpbb user database to authenticicate users on your site. I'm workong on the same as you (probably), and after you do everything like in this tutor (actually it's perfect), you will have to manage your site to use the same coockies and session id's as the phpbb uses, and that's the next step i think 🙂

Hi alex thax a lot for your vedio it is so Important for me but I have question for this :

echo "Success" ; or …
else
echo "Incorrect Password" ; or …
